Thinking about seeing a psychologist or wondering if you need a Medicare Mental Health Care Plan?
Dr. Michelle Darragh from Unburden Psychology joins Dr. Gaurav Ramayya of Graceville Medical to break down the process—what it’s like to talk to your doctor, how referrals work, and what options you have.
Did you know you don’t always need a referral to see a psychologist? You can self-refer, and in some cases, you may not need a Mental Health Care Plan. But there are important benefits to speaking with your doctor first, and we cover all of that in this realistic, down-to-earth discussion.
This video is all about demystifying the process, so you know exactly what to expect.
